NEWS RELEASE: Commission is accepting written comments on natural gas utility's
application to change rates for customers.
BOISE (Aug. 27, 2025)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission is accepting written comments
on an application from Intermountain Gas that would change the rates it charges customers to
provide natural gas service.
The utility's rates include a base-rate component and a natural gas-related cost, Purchased Gas
Cost Adjustment (PGA), component. The base-rate component is intended to cover fixed costs to
serve customers and those costs rarely change. The PGA is a commission-approved mechanism
that adjusts rates up or down to reflect changes in the utility's costs to buy natural gas from
suppliers, including changes in transportation, storage, and other related costs. Intermountain
Gas defers the costs into its PGA account and passes them on to customers through an increase
or decrease in rates.
If approved as filed, the typical residential customer's monthly bill would decrease by $0.06, or
0.03 percent. Large volume, commercial and transport customers would see their bills increase
between$435.10 and$649.24, depending on their rate schedule.
The commission can approve, deny or modify the utility's application.
